Allegri wants Tottenham and Barcelona target Adrien Rabiot to stay at Juventus
The Italian news outlet has claimed that Barcelona want to sign Rabiot, linked with Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur, in the middle of the season.
The former La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners are willing to send left-back Jordi Alba to Juventus in an exchange deal.
However, Juventus boss Allegri wants Rabiot to stay at the club for the rest of the season and considers him a very important player in his team.
The France international midfielder, who played at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, is out of contract at Juventus at the end of the season.
Juve are aiming to finish in the top four of the Serie A table this season.
Allegri’s stance on Rabiot will come as a blow for Tottenham.
The North London club have been linked with a move for Rabiot in the middle of the season.
The Times reported in December that Tottenham are ready to make a bid for the 27-year-old midfielder in the January transfer window.
The report claimed that the Frenchman’s agent has also offered him to Arsenal.
If Allegri does not want Juventus to sell Rabiot in the January transfer window, then it is going to be hard for Tottenham to secure the services of the midfielder described as “a very complete player” who is “great both with and without the ball” by Barcelona head coach Xavi in Sportskeeda. in 2017.
